STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Haley Jones hit her initial six shots and scored 21 points on 10-of-14 shooting to go with 10 rebounds and four assists, leading No. 2 Stanford past rival California 90-69 in the Pac-12 Conference opener for both schools. Hannah Jump knocked down five 3-pointers on the way to 17 points to emphatically bounce back after missing all five of her tries from long range in Tuesday’s 72-59 home win against No. 21 Creighton — her first game without making a 3 since an NCAA Tournament Elite Eight game vs. Texas last March. Jayda Curry scored 20 points to lead Cal.
